The WA Wildlife Ambulance is the first of its kind in Western Australia and is sponsored by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals International. The Ambulance is on the road 365 days/year in the Perth Metro area and rescues animals from a variety of situations. During bushfires and other large scale emergencies, the ambulance can be converted into a veterinary triage station.

More than 500 ducklings are admitted to the WA Wildlife Hospital each year with more than 200 of these rescued by the WA Wildlife Ambulance. Each duckling is in care for more than 12 weeks until it is old enough to fend for itself. Approximately 50 lettuces are used each day to feed the hundreds of ducklings in care.
